Q
how many miles for check engine light to reset
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
When a check engine light (CEL) triggers, if the issue is resolved (either through repair or automatically), the light can take about 10 to 50 miles to reset on its own as the car's onboard computer runs through a series of checks (drive cycles) to confirm the problem is fixed. The exact distance can vary based on the vehicle's make and model, as well as the specific issue that caused the CEL to illuminate. For immediate reset, mechanics use an OBD-II scanner to clear the codes. However, it's crucial to address the underlying issue causing the CEL to turn on, as simply resetting it doesn’t solve the problem. If your CEL remains on after 100 miles of driving post-repair, it could indicate a persistent issue that requires further investigation.
